Who Is the Country Singer on Dutton Ranch?
The new country singer on Dutton Ranch is Morgan Wade, best known for her song “Wilder Days,” which has over 120 million streams on Spotify.
She’s also famous for a very close friendship to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards. She’s been on the radar of country fans for about five years and has released several albums via RCA Records.
On the show, Wade will play Carol, a bartender in Rio Paloma, Texas, who (per Deadline) has seen it all.
That type of character is popular in the Taylor Sheridan universe. Tulsa King, Landman and Marshals are three more that include a popular barkeep.
The casting is ironic because Wade has been very honest about her sobriety (nine years this summer) in interviews and on social media.

She drank excessively in her younger days until a rock bottom moment in 2017. Since then music — and now acting — has become her priority.
Dutton Ranch Cast:
In addition to Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Finn Little (Beth Dutton, Rip Wheeler and Carter), Dutton Ranch will feature legend Annete Bening as Beulah Jackson, a “powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.”
She sure sounds pretty villain-y, right?

Ed Harris is also slated to play Everett McKinney, “a weathered veteran and veterinarian who treats animals with compassion and understanding and has a good sense of humor.”
From there, confirmed actors are Jai Courtney as Rob-Will (no further info, but he looks tough), Natalie Alyn Lind as Oreana (looks like she’s Carter’s new girlfriend), J.R. Villarreal as Azul, Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin and Marc Menchaca as Zachariah, a “newly released jailbird trying to rebuild his life as a wrangler and cowboy.”

Is it Rob-Will? Or maybe the more polished Everett McKinney (played by Ed Harris) is the bad guy. Could it be Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson? Yellowstone fans know to never underestimate the women of the show.
